Piave cheese is named after the river Piave, whose source is found at Mount Peralba in Val Visdende, in the northernmost part of the province of Belluno, Italy. A winding course brings the river toward the bottom of the valley until it reaches the plain at the foot of the prealpi venete mountains in the province of Treviso. Piave cheese is born from the cheese making traditions of the land surrounding the ancient river, in which the curd is cooked and the cheese is aged until it is hard. The area surrounding the river is also where the milk is collected to produce Piave. The cheese has an intense, full-bodied flavor that increases with age and makes this cheese absolutely unique. This Piave variety is Mezzano, which means it is aged for six months. We also offer a Vecchio variety which is aged for one year.

Excellent cheese. I loved the air tight packaging. And I loved the insulated bags for just a $1.00 more.

Great Flavor and Texture

This was a cheese my Italian grandmother used to import from Italy. It has a luscious flavor and nice texture...semi-hard like a Parmesan. The family to whom I gifted this cheese said they enjoyed it immensely.

Piave

I have used your Piave for at least ten years. I tell people about it when they ask what is in a dish that I've made and no one has heard about it. I love it and am hardly ever without it. Thank you for providing this wondeful cheese to our kichens.

Mild and great taste

On a trip out of town, I went to a cheese shop with my son. This is the first cheese I tasted and I am so happy I can order it from igourmet. It is a wonderfully mild cheese

Bene!

A fine addition to a cheese plate, especially cow's milk. Prime eating cheese, would be wasted in cooking.

a quite good cheese

Good taste and texture. Enjoyable with crackers or bread and a bit of wine.
